The excursion boats on the Potomac did .
good business yesterday. There was no
overcrowding, and consequently everybody
felt comfortable. The Henry 4. Bishop
took good cargo to Cedar Point; the
Arrowsmiih's complement to Colonial
Beach was full, while the Northampton
carried q large number TO Chapel Point, n
resort that grows in public estimation every
day, the bathing and the hotel being all
that could be desired; the fast trip the
Northampton makes is also a pleasant
feature, ss II allows much longer time FOR
enjoyment at the Point. The Pilot Boy

worthy feature OF the excursions was tne
remarkable good behavior on both boats

CHARGE AGAINST BEEcuER.

gated by Treasury OniclaIs.

Treasury Department officials place no
confidence whatever In the stories recently
circulated as TO the charge flied against
Capt. Beecher. They say that everything
said to his discredit had been Investigated
and proven to be wholly without founda-
tion. Both Assistant Secretary Maynard
and Mr.. Martin, chief Of the special agents
division, agree that Alver j.. Blake, who
made the charge, was Of unsound mind

The celebrated French novelist here pre-
sen,s his latest, most powerful work. Many
characters are introduced, yet all are dis
tinctly marked, and no confusion exists
No trouble whatever in understand
irig the plot; no mystery EN-
ployed. Stirring incidents succeed each
other, quick, brilliant, and bounding
as ocean waves coming to the beach. Psri,
and vicinity form the scene; the time 10 that
Of the Conciergerie, the historic prison
where mobiles and Others accused OF crimes
against the French republic were confined
Reality and imagination are intimately
| mingled in the story. 1t is Of love-a
double love. Two women are passion ately
I attached TO ono man. On these heart ex-
perlences the romance turns. The book
will charm the hours.

The suEz SHIP CANAL.
How tho Traffic Along tho waterway is
Nannged-Enormous Foes.

How tho Trams Along tho waterway is
nnnnEed-Enormous Foes.
The number of ships in the canal at
the SAME tlmo is something very great.
Dec. 8 last, for example, fifteen steamers
cleared the canal, of which seven were
outward bound. The previous day nine
ships cleared, and the day before seven,
SO that during the Sth some thirty ships
were probably at one timo in the canal.
Sometimes there are as many as forty,
and all are under the control of the
French gentleman sitting at his desk in
m upper chamber at Terreplein. The
method Of working is excessively simple.
Against the wall at ono side of the room
is a narrow shelf or platform, along
which run u groove. At intervals this
trough or groove has deep recesses, and
at two places these recessc5 are of larger
size. h trough or groove represents
the canal. The recesses are the sidings.
The larger intervals are the Great Bitter
lake and Lake Timsoh.
When a vessel about to enter the canal
at, say, the Suez end, q small toy boat or
model three or four inches long is chosen
to represent her. a group of these model
ships stands ready beside tho model canal,
each furnished with a flag. About forty
have tho English flag ten or q dozen The
French flag, and so or with other nation
aities. As the steamer comes up and
her name is known it is written on paper
and placed on the toy boat. The whole
number of ships thus actually in the canal
Mt any momen q be seen ut q glance;
and, us the Geographic signals give no.
tce, the toy boats arc moved along, or
placed in a siding, or shown travcrsing
one Of the lakes at full speed. Signals
are sent from the Office to the various
''gares' prescribing the siding at which
each ship must stop to let another meet
and pass it. The official who is on duty
keeps the models moving as he receives
notice, taking care when perhaps two
ships, going in opposite directions, arc
both nearing the same siding TO give
timely warning to the pilots in charge by
means of the signal balls and flags at
each station under his control from the
Office, and to direct which of the two is
to lie up and which to proceed.
Barring accidents, the whole arrange
mcnt goes like clockwork; the slcrk can
read off in Il moment the name, TONNAGE,
nationality, draught and actual situation
of every steamer; he can tell what pilot
she has on board, what is her breadth of
beam, what rate she is moving at, and
everything else which has to be known
about her; and lie is able without an
effort TO govern all her movements, to
prescribe the place where she Is to pass
the night and the hour at which she is to
get under way in the morning, although
he does not see her and probably never
saw her in his life. The fees which YES
GELS pay for passing through tho canal
arc often enormous. Some of the largo
1s--.- - IL
the Orient service pay as much as CT, 800
inr making q single transit. For every
passenger half a napoleon, or eight shil-
lings and fourpenco, is charged. Three
fourths of the ships that go through the
canal are English.-Saturday Review.

For more than twoyears a fire has been
burning slowly but steadily among the
lower levels of the Comstock lode, and all
ordinary means have been exhausted in
vain effort to arrest or subdue the flames,
until it became apparent that a large por
ton Of the lead must be abandoned. The
gases generated by the heat prevented
work anywhere in the neighborhood of
the fire, and 1000, 900 feet of the mine
were rendered useless. 1t was finally de
termined to drown the FIRE with carbonic
acid gas and a furnace has been erected
for its generation at a depth of loo feet
below the surface, with a daily capacity of
10000 cubic feet of gas. This shows
the magnitude of the scale on which min
ing is carried on, and attests the value of
the mine which can Justify so extensive
and expensive an undertaking.

l lately heard some curious facts re-
specting stage snow, as used in the
Paris theatres. Formerly, the head prop
erty man of each theatre caused his sub
ordinates to manufacture it by cutting
white paper into little bits, but of late
years the papermakers have supplied it in
large sacks, and cut Nd fine by a mechan-
ical chopper, The snow thus prepared Is
SO condensed that it has to be crumbled
between the fingers before it can be used.
OF late the theatres that are illuminated
by the electric light have given up the
use of paper snow, as the particles as they
descend are attracted by the flame and
might catch fire; moreover, under the
intense white light it was scarcely visible
and produced no effect. Various substi-
tutes for paper have been tried. Whale
bone shavings did very well and were in
expensive, costing only sixty cents a sack.
But the best Of all possible limitations OF
snow is found to be the scraps and clip
pings of kid left over from cutting out
gloves. They float in the air, descending
with very realistic slowness, and they
cling visibly to the garments of the actors.
Thee clippings are furnished to the Grand
Opera by several of the leading glove
houses of Paris, and cost 50 a sack

IT APPEARS that Senator Sherman on
his recent visit to Cuba narrowly escaped
capture by bandits. A plan had been
organized to seize him while on an excur
sion to a plantation in the interior under
escort Of a guard furnished by the Cuban
government, but the attacking party was
a few minutes too late. The idea was
to hold the senator for ransom. The sue
cess of the scheme would have resulted in
putting al end to brigandage by making
an American island of / uba.
